Railroad Construction.

CHICAGO, Dec. %. - The RaihCdy
RevieiO in an article on railway construc-
ton for the year 1887 will say tomorrow
that 1887 has surpassed all other years in
the extent of railway mileage constructed
in the United States, the total so far re-
ported reaching 1874 miles. Reports
yet to come will probably swell 1t to not
less than 1900 miles. This is all new
main line track, sidetracks or relaid track
not being counted. The greater part Of
this prodigious increase of railways has
taken place in a few Western states.
Kansas leads with Il total of 300 miles,
Nebraska comes next with l,10I, Texas
LOSS, then the following: Colorado SlS,
Dakota 100, Michigan 700, Montana GIG,
Missouri 554, Indian Territory 499 and
so on.
Many of these lines have been very
costly, as, for instance, those over the
Rocky mountains in Colorado, Southern
Pacific extensions ia Northern California,
AtchisOn, Kansas City Il Chicago exten
sion, Northern Paciic's work in the Cas-.
cade mountains, etc. A careful estimate
shows that not far from 1925. 600, 900 have
been expended on lines completed during
the year. Counting buildings, equipment,
etc, the money which has thus been ex-
pended furnished temporary employment
to a vast army of workmen and has given
permanent employment TO another army
of probably Ga, 600 people.

A VIGOROUS KICK.
San Francisco Citizens Protest
in Mass Meeting
Against the Importation Of
Chinese,
And Will Ask Congress to Stop
Their Entrance.
Directing to John.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-At a mass
meeting held at the Metropolitan hall to-
night for the purpose of calling upon
congress to enact a law to prevent further
Chinese immigration to the United States,
Mayor Pond presided and explained the
objects of the meeting, favoring a modifi-
cation of the treaty with China entirely
cutting off Chinese, and holding that the
failure to pass tine power of restriction laws
is largely due to the apathy Of the Amer
lean people, and from which California is
largely the sufferer.
The secretary Of the meeting read a let
ter from Governor Waterman expressing
sympathy with the objects of the meeting
and urging acts of the most stringent char
actcr. Thos. j. Clume and S. NJ. Short
ndge spoke in the same strain as Mayor
Pond, and resolutions were then adopted
requesting congress to at once either mod
iiy the existing laws of Chinese immigra-
ton, or else enact new laws effectually ex-
Guiding Chinese from any entrance what
ever into the United States, considering
exclusion the only remedy and transmit
ting a copy of the resolutions to the pres
ident of the United States, the president
Of the senate and house of Representatives.

A Systematic swindler.

PTTsBURG, Dec. 29.-Within the past
forty eight hours the Pennsylvania White
Lead company, of this city have received
bogus drafts from Beatrice, Hastings,
Grand Island and Lincoln, Neb. The
drafts were for $75 each, and were signed
by w. Harrison or ii. Lewis. The firm
claims that the two men are one, and
that he has been travelling through the
west for several months representing HIM
self as their agent. His scheme is to sell
small dealers a bill of goods at a ridicul-
ously low rate, after which he requests
them to honor a small draft on his en-
ploycrs as he is short of funds. The re-
quest is generally granted, and as

pears, only to turn up in some other

were given certificates, but Anthony
rivals are contcsting the election. On
Tuesday evening the citizens of Anthony
held a mas meeting and after passing a
series of resolutions proceeded to organize
Winchester rifle clubs. Hundreds of
men have offered their services and the
outcome is matter of much speculation.

opium Trnfao Lagal.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 30. - Judge
Hoffman rendered Adhesion in the United
States District Court ia which the right of
Chinese to import opium is sustained. In
December, 1856, the custom house au
thorities seized a quantity OF opium valued
at nearly 5000, 900 which had been shipped
from Panama to W. Sang & Co. of this
city. The opium was held in virtue of
the clause in the treaty which forbids the
Chinese from engaging in opium traffic.
Judge Hoffman holds that the treaty is
not self e~xecutory and congress having
adopted no legislation, there was nothing
to prevent the Chinese from engaging in
that business.
